Certified Professional Installation

Security Camera Installation is backed by a brand trusted by organizations like the United States Department of the Treasury, General Motors and NASA. With an unheard of 3 year warranty and 100% free support that never expires.

We're extremely happy to help you set up your system and troubleshoot any issues. Our support hours are from 9AM-7PM Monday - Friday (EST) and we are available via chat, email, phones, and remote PC screen-sharing. You can reach us at 866-414-2553.

Most security camera systems are sold as a one-size-fits all bundles. At SCW you can customize our systems to your exact needs.

When you go to add this system to your cart, it will ask you to choose a hard drive size and present you optional mounting brackets.

You can choose the hard drive size in your system. Hard Drives are installed the same day your order ships by our shipping team in North Carolina. Most homeowners look to keep around 3-14 days of footage on hand, while business tend to keep 14-90 days.
For this twenty channel 4K system, 12TBs of hard drive storage will usually last around 7 days on continuous H.265 recording and 4-8x longer when recording on motion.
To calculate the storage requirement for a custom timeframe, check out our Record time calculator.

The brackets for the cameras in this system are optional. We recommend adding the electrical box mounts if you are mounting the camera outdoors as they give easy access to your connections, hide them inside the junction box, and allow you to drill a smaller hole in your wall (which means lower heating/cooling bills). The electrical box mounts are only necessary if you want to run conduit.

When this system is in your cart, it will break up into its cameras, recorders, and cable so that you can customize it.

Our systems are designed to get you some ideas as to what you might need, not to be one-size fits all solution for everyone. Most of our customers modify these premade systems with one or more specialty cameras. For example, you may have a gate further away from your property that may require a specialty long range camera like our Archer or Sharpshooter models. You may have a highly important area where you might want to install our Knight model with its integrated motion light. You may want to include one of our commercial grade PTZ cameras that you can move around with our apps.

We usually even recommend removing the cable from your system and buying your cable locally for four reasons: (1) you can start you installation immediately and have the cable run by the time your cameras are delivered! (2) Because cable is heavy and cheap to make - you can often buy it locally for cheaper than we can ship it to you. (3) If you are installing the cameras outdoors, you should follow our RJ45 Waterproofing guide for weatherizing your cable connections, and this means cutting the end off. (4) You want to avoid excess cable laying around, because many rodents see coiled cables as an excellent place to make a nest. Many large home improvement stores will usually help you cut your cable to exact lengths and will usually even work with you regarding weatherizing the connectors.

When on the cart page, click the red x to remove an item you don't want.

Type in the quantity box and then press "update" to change quantities.

You'll be asked about product options, like camera brackets or the NVR's hard drive size, when you add this system to your cart. If you change your mind, you can press the edit button on the cart page to change these options.

The 4K Motorized Admiral Series System Bundle camera choices:

Although you can substitute any Admiral line SCW camera and have them work with this system, we have included two motorized 4K varifocal (adjustable) lens cameras in this customizable system bundle: The Judge 8.0 and The Gladiator 8.0. Both of the cameras in this system record at 4K (8 Million Pixels per frame - about four the quality of your 1080P HD TV) and both can be mounting indoors or outdoors, on the wall or on the ceiling/overhang. The Judge is usually used indoors and has an 1K10 vandal proof glass dome surrounding the lens. IK10 is the highest measurement rating for protection from physical damage for security camera products. The Gladiator is usually used outdoors and has 325 foot of infrared. The Gladiator also has a P-Iris, which allows it to change its aperture on the fly and optimally focus in all lighting conditions.

The Gladiator is very similar to our Viking camera, but has twice the resolution. It has a motorized telephoto lens that allows you to optically zoom in to see a distant area more clearly. You can adjust the angle of view with our apps, over the web, or via your SCW NVR. Just like with a point-and-shoot camera or a pair of binoculars, when narrow the field-of-view, you zoom in on an area and you can see more detail in that area. 4K video records 8 Million pixels per frame and the Gladiator shoots 30 frames per second. The Gladiator also has a P-Iris, which allows it to change its aperture on the fly and optimally focus in all lighting conditions.

Resolution is the most important thing about your surveillance cameras. With this Gladiator 8.0 set at maximum zoom, you should be able to:

Detect someone up to 200 feet

"Detecting" a face means being able to tell that a human face is in the picture.

Recognize someone up to 150 feet

"Recognizing" a face refers to being able to say "I have seen that person before" - even if you don't know or can't place who it is.

Identify someone up to 100 feet

"Identification" refers to being able to make out identifiable marks with enough certainty to make a sketch or claim.

P-Iris

This camera has a P-Iris.

P-Iris is the next level up from a DC-iris lens. A DC-Iris exists to continuously adjust the flow of light through the lens, while a P-Iris exists to both adjust to lighting conditions and ensure that the camera is using the best possible aperture (f-stop) for what it is filming. This means fewer optical errors, and the best contrast, resolution, and depth of field the camera can offer.

Anti Reflective Glass

This camera has Anti Reflective Glass.

Anti Reflective Glass allows better light transmission vs standard glass. Standard Glass cameras often come with a foam ring around the lens to prevent infrared light from bouncing back off the glass and entering the lens. This bounce back can cause extreme differences in infrared lighting, which makes some items too bright and others too washed out if the ring is loose, ripped, or removed. Anti-Reflective Glass prevents this issue. Also, people have a tendency to accidentally destroy, damage, throw away, or lose these foam rings. Anti-Reflective Glass reduces maintenance and user error.

The Judge is our 4K 1K10 dome camera. It has a motorized telephoto lens that allows you to optically zoom in to see a distant area more clearly. You can adjust the angle of view with our apps, over the web, or via your SCW NVR. Just like with a point-and-shoot camera or a pair of binoculars, when narrow the field-of-view, you zoom in on an area and you can see more detail in that area. 4K video records 8 Million pixels per frame and the Judge shoots 30 frames per second. The Judge has 1K10 vandal proof glass dome surrounding the lens. Glass domes are iconic and what people usually think of with a security camera, but the glass has benefits and drawbacks. Despite our logo being a glass dome camera shape, most of our models don't have them anymore because they aren't that DIY friendly. To install most glass dome cameras, you have to remove the outer dome to reveal the mounting screws and then screw the dome back on after mounting the camera. In more humid areas, this can trap moisture inside the camera; for this reason, most glass dome cameras are installed indoors. The Deputy comes with some silicon moisture absorbing beads to help combat this issue (please don't remove them). Glass domes are sometimes used outdoors especially in situations like college campuses or apartment complexes where "non-destructive vandalism," such as turning the camera away from its intended target, is common. Glass domes do not hide which way the camera is pointed. IK10 is the highest measurement rating for protection from physical damage for security camera products, so it should protect against some destructive vandalism as well.

IK10 - The Highest Rating for Physical Damage Protection

This camera has achieved a rating of IK10.

IK10 is the highest measurement rating for protection from physical damage for security camera products using the international standard IEC 62262 scale. IK10 is the highest rating possible, and this camera should be protect against many human-based forms of destructive vandalism.

A word of warning on hammers: almost every other security camera manufacturers use an image of a hammer hitting a camera as a way to explain vandal proof ratings. We're happy to have gotten the highest rating possible, but this is certainly one of the areas where the security camera industry tends to imply unrealistic results. Please don't misunderstand the scale and think that IK10 cameras are indestructible. There's no ability to make a product that can never be damaged, and hitting any security camera with a hammer will almost always damage it. Technically, IK10 means that it is has survived a 20 joules impact repeated 5 times with no damage to function, in a lab and under normal environmental settings. As a point of reference, a baseball bat swing from a professional MLB player, in a normal horizontal stance, with a wooden bat, causes about a 200 joules impact on the ball. A metal bat or metal hammer has the ability to transfer even more energy if the contact area is smaller. Although our camera has the highest rating possible, the IK10 standard isn't really as high as these "IK10 hammer" images make them appear. IK10 camera are not bomb proof, or bullet-proof, or running-over-it-with-your-car-proof. No matter what other companies put on their images, if you hit their products or ours (or really anything made of glass) with a hammer or baseball bat, you probably are going to break the glass and get hurt.

Both Camera Options in this System Bundle have these Features:

Built Tough!

Weatherproof Housing

This camera has a Weatherproof Housing.

It has been rated at IP67 which means that International Electrotechnical Commission’s (IEC) international standard 60529 has rated this camera housing as having full protection from dust and safe from water damage up to powerful jets of water and immersion up to 1 meter up to 30 minutes.

Commercial Grade Aluminum Molding

This camera is commercial grade, and is made of cast aluminum and ceramic molding, instead of the typical plastic molding common in the industry.

This product has passed vibration tests, can withstand an electrical surge up to 6,000 volts, and the casing will prevent intrusion of both dust and water into the internal component space. The screws and mounting hardware are made of stainless steel that have passed SUS410 salt spray anti-corrosion testing. We use automotive grade LEDs and anti-reflection glass (which means better infrared results). In short, this camera is going to hold up over time.

Car Grade LEDs

This camera has Car Grade LEDs.

Many IP cameras include low quality infrared bulbs that fail over time. This camera has Car Grade LEDs, and you should expect the same sort of longevity from them as the headlights in your car.

Professional Camera Quality and Features.

Headlight Compensation

This camera has Headlight Compensation.

Vehicle headlights directly into the camera lens can render many cameras useless. Headlight compensation reduces glare and overexposure due to car headlights.

At SCW, we try not to use the misleading term "License Plate Camera." The term "License plate cameras" is used rather flippantly by the security camera industry, has no real definition as a term, and can sometimes mean simply the presence of HLC; be careful with companies offering a simple solution to a very complex task of capturing license plates.

See through Fog with Automatic Defog

This camera has Automatic Defog.

Our automatic defog feature allows you to cut through fog, air pollution, and other atmospheric haze.

Corridor Mode

This camera has Corridor Mode.

Corridor mode allows you to flip the image on its side so that you can change the 16x9 ratio to 9x16. This is advantageous in the case of hallways, side yards, or corridors (hence the name) where the extra space vertical space is needed and the extra horizontal space would only show you more wall or fence area. To use corridor mode, install the camera with the lens pointed 90 degrees from center and then enable the corridor mode on via our software.

Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)

This camera has Wide Dynamic Range.

Wide Dynamic Range splits each frame/image into many boxes and it scans for in inaccuracies and adds the right amount exposure to create a balanced and high resolution video shot. Very useful when recording in situations where there can be a large difference in light levels.

Adjustable Shutter Speed for Customizable Performance in Low Light

This camera has an Adjustable Shutter Speed in a range between 1/30s to 1/100,000 of a second.

The shutter in a camera controls how long the camera takes to take a picture, but faster doesn't mean better. The faster that a camera shutter opens and closes, the more likely that you will get a clear, blur-free image. The longer that the shutter is open, the more light you let in and the better your image will be in low light. Shutters that are open for an extremely long time allow you to take color pictures at night/twilight without having to switch to infrared mode, but can result in motion blur.

There's no one-size fits all approach to shutter speed, so we give you full control (and free tech support) to set it up the best way possible.

A note about the Admiral/Imperial NVRs and our pre-2018 camera equipment

This NVR will plug and play with 2018 line of cameras.

Please note that in 2018, we launched new camera models, with models numbers in the 26xxx format, that record in the new, more efficient H.265 compression codex. These new models are intended to work with our 2018 Imperial and Admiral NVRs.

2018 models plug and play, but older models may need a firmware upgrade or use the ONVIF method to connect to these new NVRs. Older cameras may not have the hardware encoding to support this new codex, but you can tell the NVR to use the older H.264 codex. If you have older cameras, please contact our support team for assistance before purchasing.

H.265 Recording

This device can record in h.265

H.265, also known as High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) or MPEG-H Part 2, is the video compression standard which replaces H.264. HEVC was a collaboration by many parties including Apple, Microsoft, CIsco, Dolby, and the Moving Picture Experts Group. In comparison to H.264, H.265 offers about double the data compression ratio at the same level of video quality, which means both substantially improved video quality at the same bitrate and lower storage requirements.

H.265 saves hard drive space and increases the quality of an image by splitting the screen into a grid and only updating the sections that changed from the previous frame. This focuses nearly all of the processing power of the camera on the areas of the screen with activity. The image quality differences of H.265 is most noticeable in situations such as attempting to watch your camera remotely if your internet upload speed is slow.

You can also record in H.264 if you need backwards compatibility.

Easy to Use, Powerful Software that makes it easy to find what you need.

Continuous, Motion, and Event Recording Modes

With this NVR, you can record your SCW cameras continuously, via motion, or even via VCA (video content analysis) events (like line crossing or intrusion detection).

You can create individual schedules for each camera, including hours for motion recording mode, hours for continuous recording mode, hours for event recording mode, or even hours when that camera is off completely.

Snapshot: Email Alerts

This NVR has Snapshot Email Alerts.

You can set up your recorder to email a series of pictures you when motion is detected by one of your SCW cameras (or if one of our other VCA event is observed). You can choose specific dates and times for these alerts to be active and other times for these alerts to be ignored. Some Snapshot email options are based upon your current recording mode.

Some snapshot FTP options are based upon your current recording mode. When a VCA event happens, the NVR can capture a series of snapshots and upload those images to a FTP server of your choosing. When motion is detected, the NVR can capture a series of snapshots and upload those. When in Continuous mode, the NVR can upload an image at a certain interval, such as every hour. If you have a NVR or cameras with alarm inputs and you have connected an alarm device to those inputs, the NVR can capture a series of snapshots and upload those images to a FTP server of your choosing when an alarm goes off. There's no monthly fee for this, as it uses your FTP server.

Video Analytics based Motion Detection

This NVR has video analytics based motion detection.

Motion detection can also be used to send you email alerts when motion is detected or to record when recording on motion events. You can modify the sensitivity level, so that more or less movement is required for the motion detection to trigger. You can create inclusion areas (places where you care if there is motion) and define the rest as exclusion areas (places where you don't care if there is motion). So, for example, you could create a motion based alert to notify you if someone was in your yard, but ignore them if they were on the sidewalk or in the street.

See What Happened Before The Motion

With this NVR, you won't miss out on important motion events - and you can even go back in time before the event happened to understand why it happened.

Many consumer grade cameras uses PIR sensors to trigger a camera to turn on when something gets close enough to the sensor. This is bad design as there's a slight delay (0.5-3 seconds) that can cause the camera to not record what happened. Our cameras not only don't have a delay when triggered, but allow you to go back in time to see what happened before the motion event.

How is this possible? With our professional grade systems, motion based recording work differently than lower end consumer cameras. The cameras/NVRs are actually always on recording video feeds but watching the footage for you to look for changes in the frames of the video. When motion detection recording is turned on, and the camera/NVR does not detect any changes, it deletes the video rather than stores it. If it does detect a change, it will save the event and a customizable amount of time before the event happened.

Video Content Analysis (VCA) Event Detection Recording Mode

VCA: Line Crossing Detection

This NVR can be set to alert you or record based on people, objects, or vehicles crossing a configurable virtual line.

Want to know what happened to the packages on your porch? It's easy to find out what happened to it, just set up line crossing on your porch stairs, and then search by who crossed that line.

VCA: Intrusion Detection

This NVR can be set to alert you or record based on people, objects, or vehicles entering and staying in a set region on the view.

Have a valuable asset like a cash register or air conditioner unit that disappeared? It's easy to find out what happened to it, just set up an intrusion area around it, and then search by who entered into that area.

VCA: People Counting

This NVR can be set to track and record the number of people enter and leaving through an entrance (or cars or objects). You can view these stats on your NVR or download a CSV file to view it on your computer. (People Counting is a new feature in the industry and should be considered to be in beta. It works reasonably well when mounted directly above a doorway, looking down. It is less accurate when mounted across a room and aimed at a doorway. People counting does not understand identity; it will not learn who you are. It will count someone entering, leaving and then coming back again as two visits.

VCA: Vandalism Alerts

There are three different VCA alerts aimed at camera vandalism. Video Loss, which happens when a the NVR loses communication with the camera, such as if a cable is cut. Scene change, which happens when the camera is pointed in a new direction. Video Tampering, which happens when the lens is covered.

VCA: Face Detection

This NVR can be set to alert you or record based on the detection of a human face. You can then search for video footage based on a person's face. (Face Detection is a new feature in the industry and should be considered to be in beta. They require the person to be rather close to the camera. Face detection does not understand identity; it will not learn who you are or group similar faces.)

Looking for someone specific? Turn on face detection mode and search by the faces that the camera detected.

VCA: Audio Detection

Recording audio is more heavily regulated in the United States than recording video. Whenever you record audio, you must always be certain that you are not breaking the Federal Wiretap rules. On our IP cameras with audio page, we go over a very basic description of the Federal Wiretap Act and the differences between 1-party and 2-party state rules for audio recording. Please be aware many cities and counties have passed their own regional rules regarding audio recording. Consult a lawyer before recording audio.

Audio detection can tell you when there is a sudden rises in volume, a sudden fall in volume: a sudden changes in volume, or if volume exceeds a threshold.

Video Content Analytics (VCA) Smart Search

Save time reviewing footage by filtering and searching for events based upon video analytic criteria. Quickly review footage by filtering by motion detected in specific areas of the screen, by the face captured, by intrusion into certain areas, or by line crossing. (Requires setting up these video analytic features in advance).

SCW view station PC/Mac Software

Our Windows/Mac application is a full featured, easy to use, desktop video management software. You can combine multiple Admiral or Imperial systems, even at multiple locations and seamlessly view, control, and manage them as if they were one system. Just about anything you can do on your NVR you can do on our free SCW ViewStation.

SCWGo Smartphone and Tablet Apps

You download these apps from your phone's app store. Just look for the SCWGo app.

Video Surveillance with a focus on Cyber Security.

1 Click Firmware Update

Tired of chasing down firmware from the manufacturer, downloading the firmware, uploading the firmware to the device, and then restarting the device? Don't bother!

This device checks for firmware and then downloads and installs it, itself, with one click.

An Isolated Network within a Network

In 2017, there were a bunch of very high profile hacks where outside actors like foreign governments or professional criminal enterprises used the processors inside millions of both low cost cameras and some big name cameras to conduct cyberattacks on critical USA infrastructure like power plants and internet service providers.

The cameras plugged into the Admiral line NVR's POE ports directly or plugged into the Imperial Line NVRs Lan2 Network directly are not visible or accessible on your computer network. They run on an isolated network. The only way to access these cameras is to plug a computer into those POE ports or Lan2 ports. There's a physical barrier from the cameras to the main network. In addition, there's also a subnetwork running on the NVRs, which means that even if you do plug a computer into the NVR's physically separate, isolated network, you would also need to know their subnet mask.

2. Isolated Cameras. Since they are on both a physically separated network and a subnet, your cameras are not visible on your computer network or to outsiders. You can connect to the NVR remotely and log in and the use the NVR as a bridge to watch the cameras, but neither you nor a hacker cannot log into the cameras themselves, without either logging into the NVR or being physically present to plug into the NVR and possessing knowledge about your NVR's specific camera subnet mask. (You can customize this camera's subnet, if you want). 99% of all security camera IOT hacks are through the cameras - not the NVR.

3. Less maintenance. Our new 2018 line has 1 click firmware updates straight from the NVR/Camera: meaning: you don't even have to search for, find, or download the footage on a computer. You just click a button when using the device and update the firmware automatically. So, the update process is not difficult to begin with. In addition, you don't have to worry about updating the cameras for cyber security reasons, since the NVR is the only device that can be accessed remotely. It is much easier to keep one device up to date than dozens or hundreds.

ONVIF Profile Q Compliant POE Ports

This NVR has 16 POE ports on the back for connecting and powering cameras.

SCW 2018 cameras will plug and play automatically with this device without having to do anything. Just plug in the camera and the NVR powers it, gives it an IP address, and set up the generic settings for you. It just works!

These ports are also ONVIF Profile Q compliant. That means that the POE ports on this device will allow the plug-and-play feature that you're used to when connecting SCW brand cameras with SCW brand NVRs (i.e. you plug it an it works), with any ONVIF profile Q compliant camera. (please note that ONVIF compliant does not mean ONVIF Q compliant! ONVIF Q is new and we know of only one other camera brand who has embraced it.)

Q: Can I use another brand's cameras with this NVR?

Yes, you can any ONVIF compatible camera (the open language that any surveillance camera can speak - check your camera for ONVIF compatibility), but only SCW IP cameras or ONVIF Profile Q compliant cameras work with the POE ports on the back of the NVR. ONVIF Profile Q ports are self-configuring and Plug and Play (automatically configuring the camera's video settings, network settings, and power). ONVIF Profile S, Profile G, Profile C, Profile A, or Profile T are not necessarily Profile Q compliant. Profile Q is new in 2018 and we only know a few manufacturers who have embraced it yet. ONVIF compliant (but not ONVIF Q compliant) cameras will need to be connected via an external POE source appropriate for the power needs for that camera.

Q: Can I connect cameras somewhere else on my network (I.e. not plugged into the NVR's on-board POE Switch), like a traditional NVR?

Yes, you can. You can edit the camera option so that it's manually added rather than Plug and Play. You won't need to directly plug the cameras into the NVR if you don't want to, but you will need to provide them Power with a POE switch or POE injector, if you aren't going to plug them into the NVR.

SCWEasyConnect 2.0 - Extended Distance

This NVR has SCW EasyConnect2.0 which allows it to plug and play with SCW Cameras up to 750 feet away!

Normally, ethernet cable has a limit of ~300 feet. After that you start getting data packet collision (your video data gets all mixed up and hard to figure out the order of the data). With this SCW Admiral NVR and any of the SCW Admiral Line Cameras, you can extend that distance up to 750 feet. This feature requires both our cameras and NVR to work together.

16 POE ports; Processing Power to Record 32 Cameras

After powering the NVR, a single power plug can't also power 32 cameras.

This Admiral Pro has 16 SCWEasyConnect ports built into its case. This NVR can record an additional 16 cameras when those cameras are connected to a POE switch on the same network. This NVR can record up to 32 cameras.

Here's a wiring diagram for how you would connect cameras 17-32:

Up to 16 cameras can be connected via the ADMP32P16's POE ports (subnetted and more secure). The other cameras are connected via a POE switch on your network. If you are concerned about cyber security, the IMP32 is a better choice as it is more secure because it subnets all the cameras. For more info, please see our Best Practices for preventing IOT Security Camera Hacks guide.

VGA Out

This recording device has VGA Out.

You can plug this recording device into any VGA enabled monitor.

Q: Do I have to use a monitor?

A. No, you can use either a monitor or a TV, as explained below. But, you don't actually have to use either. You can manage nearly all your settings remotely via our PC or Mac apps or via the web-interface. Quite a few of our customers hide their recorders or put them in a safe with a cable pass-through, to prevent them from potential theft. This is a perfectly fine solution. You will probably want to plug a monitor in to make your initial setup easier.

HDMI Out

This recording device has HDMI Out.

You can plug this recording device into any HDMI enabled television. This means that you don't need to purchase a monitor unless you want to; you can connect a monitor with either HDMI or VGA cable.

Q: What if I plug in both the HDMI and VGA? Can I watch on two screens?

A. On all of our units, you can view the system on both VGA and HDMI at the same time. On the 4 channel Admiral, they will display the same image on both outputs. On the 8 channel Admiral (and the 16 channel Admiral - non-Pro), you can display different images on the VGA than the HDMI. On the 16 Channel Admiral Pro and every NVR larger than that, they have multiple HDMI ports and the first HDMI and the VGA port display the same thing, the additional HDMI ports can be set to a different view.

Please note that although our NVRs can all do 1080P and 4K output, all of them ship with 720P as the default. This is to prevent display issues for people who have older TVs or monitors that don't support 1080P or 4K. To change the output right click and then go to configuration.

NAS Backup

A NAS or Network Attached Storage is an easy way to either increase the storage space available to your recorder or have a redundant, off recorder storage device - allowing you to have two copies of recorded footage.

You set both the internal and NAS hard drives into groups and assign the cameras to groups. This way you can set some cameras to record longer than others.

We don't sell NAS equipment, but you can purchase just about any NFS compatible NAS and have it work. NFS Is the most common communication protocol for NAS equipment. The most popular NAS equipment are made by computer manufacturers such as Western Digital, QNAP, or Synology.

Surveillance Rated Hard Drive

This recording device has a Surveillance Rated Hard Drive.

We use high grade hard drives specifically designed for video surveillance. Surveillance hard drives, unlike PC drives, are built to write significant amounts of data, 24/7, for years on end, without failure.

Our surveillance hard drives come have their own 3 year warranties from major manufacturers like Western Digital or Seagate.

We don't use "knock-off" hard drives.

Compliant with Industry Standards

Works with ONVIF

This device works with ONVIF.

ONVIF is an open industry standard encoding language for the interface of IP-based physical security products. (It's what allows your IP camera, your NVR, or any other device to talk with each other - Not all manufacturers are ONVIF compatible and may leave you in a scenario where you cannot record your footage without paying a monthly fee.)

UL Listed and FCC Certified

UL is a safety consulting and certification company headquartered in Northbrook, Illinois and provides safety-related certification, validation, testing, inspection, and auditing of SCW products.

The Federal Communications Commission has certified that the electromagnetic interference from the device is under limits approved by the FCC.

The Ease of a Cable Split

The Ease of a Cable Split

This system includes a POE switch. POE Switches can reduce the amount of cabling that you need to run. You can plug the POE switch in anywhere on your network by running one cat5 cable from your router to the switch and plugging the switch into a wall outlet. Then you can plug several cameras into the switch and it will power and transmit the video back to the NVR (with some minimal setup that we are happy to help you do). This means that you can reduce the amount of cabling work that you need to do by placing the switch close to where a collection cameras will be, only having to run one wire to the switch and then branching to several cameras.

Feel free to swap out this 4 port POE switch with our 8 or 16 port models, if you that would make your installation easier or if you want to expand to more cameras later.
